Blood Test (1)
Chapter 256: Blood Test (1)
After the election, it was finally a busy thing, and the imperial doctor reported again, and the queen's mother was in good health! Therefore, taking advantage of the sunny weather at the end of February, the emperor ordered people to set up a stage in Qinchun Garden and invite all the concubines to the banquet to watch the play.
"When did the palace invite a troupe?" Shen Wan opened her arms and asked Xiangming and Chun'er to dress herself, she was safe, and she took off her winter clothes, and now she is wearing a jacket, and she is afraid of the cold spring, so she can only wear a few more. She also wore heavy jewelry on her head, no way, who made her the queen, everything had to follow the rules! I feel so pressured that I can't breathe, Shen Wan misses a little nostalgic that she didn't have to wear jewelry or apply grease and powder when she was pregnant.
"Niangniang forgot, at the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, the juggling team from outside the palace entered the palace, Niangniang said that it was good-looking, and the emperor left them, until now, today, it finally comes in handy."
"Only today? Haven't seen a banquet in the past? Shen Wan asked strangely.
Chun'er smiled deliberately: "Niangniang is not here, who dares to use it?" ”
Qingyue excitedly said, "There is a juggler?" That's great! In the past, you could only see it during the temple fair, but you still climbed the wall to see it, and you can't see it clearly! ”
Chun'er smiled: "Then you are blessed this time, let's follow Niangniang, it is the best position." ”
Shen Wan looked at herself in the mirror, bright yellow multicolored silk thread embroidered with a hundred birds and phoenix wide sleeves and a long skirt with a thin light gauze on the outside, embroidered with apricot-colored peony flowers on the light yarn. His arms were draped with gold threads, and a gold belt was tied around his waist, and jade fell from each side. The head is combed with a ginseng bun, and the forehead is fixed with a nine-tailed emerald pearl hairpin, and the phoenix mouth is not an ordinary jade, but a string of pearls, hanging down to the center of the eyebrows. The back is decorated with six golden hairpin trees, and four jewel palace flowers. Three strings of crystal and rainy big eastern pearls hang down from the ears.
At this time, there are only four words to describe Shen Wan's dress: extravagant.
Just as she was about to go out, she heard the voice of the emperor coming, Shen Wan was surprised, Xichen had already walked in, looked at her with appreciation, and said with a smile: "I come over first, let's go together." ”
Shen Wan smiled at him and said to Qingyue: "Go and bring Zhao'er here, it's time to take Zhao'er out to play if you don't eat or sleep all day." ”
Xichen also said: "Exactly! ”
So, the family of three walked towards Qinchun Garden, the emperor and queen joined hands, followed by Qingyue holding the child, and behind was a palace maid and eunuch who was driving.
When I arrived at Qingqin Spring Garden, after sitting down, I waited until the concubines below had invited An, let them get up and sit down, say a few high-sounding words, and drink the first glass of wine, and then start watching the play.
The stage was fierce, Shen Wan looked sideways slightly, Qingyue's eyes were about to fall out, and the child in her hand was fine. shook his head and said to Xiangming: "Bring the child over and let her watch the show." ”
The child was hugged to Shen Wan's hands, Shen Wan looked down, and Zhao'er looked impatient, and she was about to cry. Shen Wan hugged him and coaxed him for a while, and he only improved slightly, but he was still frowning, looking very reluctant.
Xichen came over to take a look and said, "This kid doesn't seem to like to cry, I haven't heard him cry a few times in the past few days." ”
Shen Wan said: "It's about being stubborn, it's okay, boy!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, some people below saw that the emperor and queen were harmonious, which was a happy thing, but some people were not happy, at this time they straightened their clothes, and said with a little wine: "The emperor really loves the three princes!" It's a pity that the eldest son of the emperor who went is no one to love him. ”
Everyone was stunned, Shen Wan looked over and saw that it was not Hui Niangzi who spoke, but Li Ronghua!
Li Ronghua was originally promoted by herself, but now she has taken refuge in Chen Xiurong again, so is she ready to help Chen Xiurong deal with herself?
In fact, Lironghua was also threatened by Chen Xiurong, Chen Xiurong said to her: "You were the queen's person before, but now you have taken refuge in me, do you think the queen will let you go easily?" Instead of letting the queen rectify, it is better to listen to my arrangement and bring the queen down in one fell swoop! In the future, the second prince will become the crown prince, and your benefits are indispensable! ”
Use Lironghua instead of Hui Niangzi, firstly, because Lironghua has a high position, and secondly, because she used to be good friends with Shen Wan, and the emperor will not suspect him. The emperor has never taken these partisan disputes in the harem to heart, and without Shen Wan, this harem seems to be nothing. And with Shen Wan, this harem is still nothing!
Speaking of the eldest son of the emperor, everyone's faces showed sadness, the eldest son of the emperor grew to the age of six, but died like this, it is indeed a pity.
Xichen was sad on his face, but he also frowned at the same time, he originally teased Zhao'er, but now he remembered Ping'er, so he sat solemnly and sighed long. Xiao Shizi knew the current affairs and let the troupe withdraw, and there was silence all around.
Chen Xiurong hurriedly said: "The emperor mourns, the emperor's eldest son has passed away, His Majesty still has two sons alive, the March election, the new person in the palace, will definitely extend the heir for the emperor." ”
Xichen sighed, nodded again, and said, "Today is a banquet, and you shouldn't mention such a sad thing." ”
Li Ronghua continued: "The eldest son of the emperor has gone, the eldest and youngest are orderly, the emperor will take care of the second prince more." ”
Everyone was stunned again, it turned out that the eldest son of the emperor was just a brick thrown out, and the focus was on the second prince.
But I heard Zhao Guiren say leisurely: "The concubine has a share, shouldn't the emperor favor the three princes more?" ”
Li Ronghua sneered: "The third prince? Where did the three princes come from, it's very strange! ”
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and Xichen was suddenly furious, shouting: "Presumptuous! ”
Li Ronghua came out of the ranks, knelt down and cried: "Even if the concubine dies, she doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's just a matter of the emperor's bloodline, and no one is allowed to mess around, and the emperor is asked to find out!" ”
Shen Wan's face was cold, and her heart trembled in vain, the secret ...... The secret is ...... No way! No way! Except for himself, only Xichao knows about this matter. Naturally, he won't say it, and it's even more impossible for him, so who else knows?
Xichen was already furious, pointed at Lironghua and shouted: "Bold slut, speak wildly, come here!" Pull her out and die! ”
Li Ronghua said desperately: "Your Majesty! The concubine is loyal to her ears, the queen has been out of the palace for a long time, but when she comes back, she brings a baby of unknown origin, which is very strange, the emperor is afraid that he is deceived by a traitor, right? ”
Xichen went out of the palace to welcome Shen Wan back privately, it was a private matter, and outsiders only said that Shen Wan returned to the palace by herself, this child is even more speculative.
Xichen's face was pale, and naturally no one knew about the night he had with Shen Wan in the southern country. Falsely claiming to be in retreat and welcoming back Shen Wan is even more inhumane for outsiders. Now I was caught and hurt my feet...... There is still such a discussion in the harem, but I don't know what rumors there are among the people of the foreign courts!
Chen Xiurong saw that Xichen was silent, and took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Lirong Hua's words are conclusive, how about listening to her?" ”
Li Ronghua also said: "Your Majesty, the queen has been in the south before, and it is said that she and the acting king of the south go out of the same car and sleep together." The palace people are passing on from one to another, saying that they are ...... Foul language, the concubine really can't say it! ”
